My latest paper on cyaphide chemistry is now online in @angew_chem! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… Features some cool organophosphorus anions that show how reactive the cyaphide ion can be. Thanks @GoicoecheaGroup, Dan (twitterless), @OxICFM, and @OxfordChemistry

Metal‐Mediated Oligomerization Reactions of the Cyaphide Anion

We describe three distinct oligomerization reactions of metal complexes bonded to the cyaphide ligand (CP−). Reductive coupling of a gold cyaphido complex was found to afford a species containing a...

Excited to share that my latest paper with the @GoicoecheaGroup on the cyaphide ion is out now in @J_A_C_S! We show that the CP- ligand can bridge iron centers in mixed-valence molecular wires that are analogous to the nodes in Prussian blue. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jac…

We had previously shown that the cyaphide ion can bridge metal centers in a end-on/side-on fashion: doi.org/10.1002/anie.2022067… Now we demonstrate that with sufficient stabilization, the linear end-on/end-on coordination mode is also possible.

The monometallic iron(II) cyaphide complexes that we report are so stable that they can be worked up in air using wet solvents! This is the culmination of the lessons we learned in our previous studies: doi.org/10.1039/D3SC01126G doi.org/10.1002/anie.2022180…
